Polymer self-leveling floor for parking
Parking floors
Waterproofing a parking deck
Car park deck coatings
Floors in a parking lot, garage or car park must be protected from numerous factors.
What are the key parameters for determining a waterproofing solution that can ensure the durability and functionality of the concrete structure of the parking lot:
-
ability to bridge cracks;
-
wear resistance;
- abrasion resistance.
Let's look at these three options.
Polymer floors for parking
The main parameters of the waterproofing membrane for parking
Ability to bridge cracks in concrete floors
Is there a building without cracks? Of course there are, but they are very few.
Reality and practice show that in most cases cracks occur, especially on a large horizontal concrete surface, for example, in a parking lot.
Thermal expansion of top coverings due to temperature fluctuations, concrete slab shrinkage, vehicle dynamic loads and large spans between columns are some of the specific causes of cracks in a parking lot.
Without crack-bridging protection, the durability of the entire structure can be compromised, resulting in additional maintenance and repairs.
Elastic cover for parking
Durability of parking flooring
Vehicle engine torque is usually increased, especially electric vehicles.
When accelerating, the first turns of the drive wheels create tension within the protection system that tends to break the material.
This is one of the reasons why durable parking flooring systems require a combination of a membrane that provides crack-bridging resistance and a wear-resistant coating that protects the membrane from tearing.
Durable parking floor
Abrasion resistance of the parking floor
Wear on the surface of the parking lot is very high, especially in the parking lots of commercial centers or large public buildings.
Under these conditions, the top layer of any parking floor pie system is particularly susceptible to stress, so it is important to select and apply a top coat capable of providing long lasting protection.
Hot spray waterproofing membranes have such a high degree of mechanical resistance that there is no need for a top coat while still providing the same resistance.
This led to a simpler, faster and cheaper solution.
Abrasion resistant surface for outdoor parking
Consider a parking floor covering solution from Master Builders Solutions.
Where and how can Master Builders Solutions Hot Spray Parking Floor Membranes be used?
To fulfill all the parameters described above, waterproofing and concrete floor protection systems in 2 or even 4 layers are required.
Starting at the base, the ideal layer system would be:
-
primers;
-
waterproofing membrane;
-
wear-resistant coating;
- top protective layer.
Masterseal Traffic
The range of MasterSeal Traffic systems includes special solutions for car parks and parking lots.
Consider two MasterSeal Traffic series systems based on hot spray waterproofing membranes.
Master Seal Traffic 2219
A particular advantage of MasterSeal Traffic 2219, with polyurea as a wear-resistant coating, is its amazing durability, which has already proven itself in many applications.
Applied by hot spraying, the coating can be processed extremely quickly and can be put back into motion.
Since the coating is applied by hot spraying, even rising building components, vertical surfaces and, if necessary, even overhead areas as well as other complex geometries can be coated without any problems and in one operation thanks to its very fast set-up, which also allows return to service very quickly.
The very high throughput and abrasion resistance of MasterSeal Traffic 2219 makes the surface durable and maintenance costs low.
The desired color design, UV protection and slip resistance are achieved with a lightfast, spatter sealant.

-
primer MasterSeal P 770;
-
membrane MasterSeal M 689;
- top coat MasterSeal TC 681.
The mechanical resistance and crack-bridging ability of hot spray membranes is so great that with one coat and one application, they can act as both a membrane and a wear-resistant coating, making application much faster and easier.
Hot spray applied membrane, combined with a UV resistant top layer, is a high performance polymer car park floor system providing durability especially in upper, open parking areas.

MasterSeal M 689
Highly resilient, solvent-free, ultra-fast curing spray applied polyurea membrane for waterproofing.
Not all waterproofing membranes are designed to perform in the toughest conditions, so choosing the right system is critical.
MasterSeal M 689 is the most effective solution for rapid waterproofing of surfaces subjected to harsh mechanical and chemical attack.
It sets in a few seconds and hardens completely to be back to work in just two hours.
Once cured, MasterSeal M 689 has the high elasticity and crack-bridging properties necessary to prevent water leakage in case of moving cracks in the substrate.
Where to use MasterSeal M 689?
This solvent-free, two-component, 100% polyurea waterproofing membrane is suitable for waterproofing applications where a high degree of chemical resistance is essential.
This includes wastewater and secondary containment in the water treatment, chemical and petrochemical sectors.
MasterSeal M689 is also suitable for roofs and places subject to mechanical stress.
What makes MasterSeal M 689 different?
Spray application of MasterSeal M 689 and ultra-fast cure time make application easy.
Forms a monolithic waterproofing membrane without overlaps, welds and seams on simple or complex surfaces with vertical elements or complex details.
MasterSeal M 689 can be applied to a wide range of substrates with an appropriate primer, providing high chemical and mechanical resistance and durability in the harshest environmental conditions.
How to apply MasterSeal M 689?
MasterSeal M 689 is highly reactive and can only be applied with two-component spray equipment that initiates a fast reaction and ensures fast and safe membrane application.

-
primer MasterSeal P 770;
- membrane and top layer MasterSeal M 689.
These hot spray membranes also have crack bridging capability, making them ideal not only for topcoats but also for intermediate coats where cracks can occur.
In the specific case of intermediate layers, the additional properties of mechanical and UV resistance make it possible to dispense with topcoating and combine the role of a membrane and a wear-resistant parking coating in one application.
